Street photography is one of the most difficult, yet at the same time one of the most satisfying genres of photography. Documenting people in their everyday environment is not easy–it requires patience, hard work, and sometimes even courage to be able to approach and photograph complete strangers. Typically, street photography is about the candid capture of life in public spaces.
I was inspired by photographers such as Vivian Meier, Lee Friedlander, Steven Mccurry and Ansel Adams. They all have different styles and visual perspective. I tried my approach to visually replicate their styles and to play around with my camera settings and framing.
Street photography is a question of documenting daily life and society. Personally, I do not think it is necessary to take street photography in the street. You can shoot at the airport, shopping centre, beach, park, bus or subway, doctor’s office, grocery store, or any other public place.
Throughout street photography, the most important thing is to portray feeling, compassion, and spirit.
